<p>Boolean toggle to include/exclude top level directory.</p>
<p>When preparing a package CPack installs the item under the so-called
top level directory.  The purpose of is to include (set to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">1</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ON</span></code> or
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TRUE</span></code>) the top level directory in the package or not (set to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">0</span></code> or
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">OFF</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">FALSE</span></code>).</p>
<p>Each CPack generator has a built-in default value for this variable.
E.g.  Archive generators (ZIP, TGZ, …) includes the top level
whereas RPM or DEB don’t.  The user may override the default value by
setting this variable.</p>
<p>There is a similar variable
<span class="target" id="index-0-variable:CPACK_COMPONENT_INCLUDE_TOPLEVEL_DIRECTORY"></span><a class="reference internal" href="CPACK_COMPONENT_INCLUDE_TOPLEVEL_DIRECTORY.html#variable:CPACK_COMPONENT_INCLUDE_TOPLEVEL_DIRECTORY" title="CPACK_COMPONENT_INCLUDE_TOPLEVEL_DIRECTORY"><code class="xref cmake cmake-variable docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CPACK_COMPONENT_INCLUDE_TOPLEVEL_DIRECTORY</span></code></a> which may be used
to override the behavior for the component packaging
case which may have different default value for historical (now
backward compatibility) reason.</p>
